1st focus student was in process of changing over to special ed

2nd focus student tested too high on MAP test (a formal assessment)

Both were disqualified New students were found last minute by my

CT

Used MAP scores as formal assessment Used class work and observations as informal

assessment Found students were struggling most with

word problems

Focus of lesson was problem solving strategies

Went over strategies students already used Described new strategies Modeled them Practiced them and gradually had students

take over Students created own word problems and

solved using practiced strategies

Students had a great time! If possible would incorporate these strategies

daily Asked CT about using them He said it was his goal but not possible now

due to class size
